I feel pretty good. I’m healthy, happy and enjoying my position in the world. I now run my own business but I work at the high school still as well, and I’m doing interesting and entertaining work.

I help people do useful things and I’m happy doing it.

But that’s not all I have — and I enjoy that too. I have my own home. A wonderful family and plenty of hobbies and interests. My writing will always be important to me and I will make a success of it too.

It’s a big wide world out there and there’s so much happening. There are things in the world that aren’t great, but I don’t want to think about those. My world is pretty good and I’m happy to live in it.

So I’m 40 in about 10 minutes and that suits me just fine. You reach that one way or another regardless of what happens, so I am happy with where I’ve been and where I’m going.
